try "sudo passwd root" or "sudo passwd dsl"

passwd fails because it can't write the password file.  I assume because the file it's trying to write is on a read-only volume (is this correct?)

So... It looks like I need to be able to solve one of two problems:
1) Successfully set the password of dsl or root (i.e. get passwd working).
2) Allow ssh to login without using a password.  This would not be my favorite option for obvious reasons.

changing passwords worked in 0.7.3; I get an error in 0.8.0. Has anyone been able to set the passwords?

Ah a bug in 0.8.0. Here is temporary fix.

From Xshells->Root Access
# rm /etc/shadow-
# cp /KNOPPIX/etc/shadow- /etc/shadow-

Now you can change the password.

Hi Robert

This bug seems to persist in 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 too. Can it be corrected in the next version please?
